Xiao Ke struggled against the grip on his collar, waving his hands wildly, "Okay, okay, let go of me first, I'll hurry up and call my dad!"
Xu Wuning released it, "Hurry up."
Xiao Ke staggered half a step, immediately pulled out his phone, and dialed a number, "Dad, where are you?"
A muffled response came from the receiver, and Xiao Ke's brows furrowed even more: "Huh? You need that much longer? But I'm in a real hurry, it's a matter of life and death."
After a few more words were said on the other end, it sighed helplessly, "Okay, I understand..."
Then, it hung up the phone.
Turning its head, Xiao Ke met Xu Wu Ning's now cold gaze. It shivered and opened its mouth, its mouth dry:
"Um... it will probably take another three hours."
Xu Wuning gasped, her voice rising in shock: "Three hours? In the small world, that's a month and a half."
"Does that mean everyone will have to wait another month and a half for me?"
She pointed at the person on the screen, "In a month and a half, how thin must Lu Jingci be? In a month and a half, how worried must my dad be? And Yueyue and the others are all waiting for me."
She grabbed Xiao Ke again and lifted him up, saying, "You'd better think of another way!"
Xiao Ke's two short legs flapped in mid-air. "I'm thinking, I'm thinking, host."
"Don't worry, don't worry, there's always a way..."
Just then.
The blue system, its head smashed into a pig's head on the ground, tremblingly raised its hand.
"I can send it; I can make amends."
Xu Wuning shook off Xiao Ke, narrowed her eyes, and looked at the Blue System with suspicion, "Are you reliable? I'm starting to have serious doubts about both of your abilities."
The Blue System sat up from the ground: "Of course I'm reliable. I'm an old system, and I've done a lot of missions."
"I am very familiar with the task panel. I know the location of each node, the time window, and the teleport coordinates by heart."
"I can handle this little thing."
Xiao Ke's eyes lit up, and he chimed in, "Right, right! I almost forgot, the Blue System can easily take someone home, and we don't have to wait for my dad to come back."
"If you're in a hurry, let the Blue System send you back first."
Xu Wuning approached the Blue System step by step, and said coldly, "You wouldn't have done something shady again, would you?"
The blue system trembled in fear, raising its hands in surrender. It swallowed hard, "I've been beaten up like this, how could I dare?"
"You even beat up the young master, so even if I had the guts of a million, I wouldn't dare to mess with you again. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission honestly and diligently."
"There will absolutely be no more mistakes."
Xu Wuning stared at it for several seconds, and finally, she nodded: "Okay, then it's you. It's just that waiting another month and a half is too long."
After saying that, she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm ready. Take me back!"
Xiao Ke handed the task panel to the Blue System.
The blue system opened, and after a few operations, it pressed the confirmation button.
Xu Wuning felt a sudden white light flash before her eyes.
The surrounding sounds disappeared, and my body felt light, as if I was being carried forward by something like cotton.
Amidst the vast expanse of white, she smiled joyfully.
Dad, she's back!
Just as her foot was about to touch the ground.
Suddenly—
The white light suddenly changed color, a dangerous red warning light lit up, and a sharp alarm blared out, each blare more urgent than the last, casting the entire space in a flickering light.
Xu Wuning's smile froze on her face.
Blue System's expression immediately changed drastically.
It frantically tapped the task panel in its hand, its whole body trembling: "How could this be? How is this possible? It can't be... I checked it three times, the coordinates are right, the time window is right, how could this be..."
It spoke faster and faster, its voice growing increasingly shrill, "Impossible! How could this be?!"
Xiao Ke, standing nearby, was even more panicked. He stomped his short legs on the spot and covered his head with his hands, exclaiming, "Why is the alarm going off again? Something's happened again..."
Amidst the piercing alarm, Xu Wuning hovered in the air, unable to see anything but red light.
She was so angry her blood ran cold; she felt like killing them both on the spot. She yelled, "What is it now?"
"What's going on? What are you doing now? I really want to kill you all."
Blue System's face turned pale. His trembling hands kept clicking on the task panel, his fingertips almost sparking as he poked at the screen, but it was no use.
It was so nervous that it was covered in sweat.
Because the red error code on the panel just wouldn't budge, as if it were nailed there.
"How could the timing be wrong? My actions were definitely correct. Is there something wrong with this little world?"
Suddenly, it stopped, its trembling voice now tinged with a sudden realization: "Young Master, this small world was marked with the word 'High Risk' from the beginning. Could it be related to this?"
"So this little world is prone to malfunctions and is very unstable. It's really not my fault, my operation was absolutely correct."
"I need to find out what's going on right now."
Xu Wuning gritted her teeth, her voice as cold as ice: "What do you mean...?"
She hadn't finished speaking.
The surrounding alarms suddenly escalated, becoming so sharp they seemed to pierce eardrums, and the red lights began to spin, moving so fast it was dizzying.
Suddenly everything went black before her eyes, and she lost consciousness.
……
I opened my eyes again.
Xu Wuning stood by the lake.
She frowned. "What kind of place is this?"
She touched her face and saw her reflection in the clear lake water.
School uniform, high ponytail, and a face that looks several years younger than her age.
She looked up abruptly at the familiar campus and felt like dying.
She was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth to powder.
Okay, very good.
In my past life, I got into Tsinghua or Peking University, and then I died in a flash.
Having finished attending Peking University, I suddenly found myself back at high school.
She seems to have a special connection with the college entrance examination in her life.
She was filled with rage in her mind, emphasizing each word: "Xiao Ke, Blue System, I'm going to kill you both."
"My dad is still waiting for me. Why am I in high school? Please send me back to the normal time."
The buzzing sound of the electrical connection was very unstable.
Xiao Ke's trembling voice came through: "Host... we've found the cause of the error. Something happened to Lu Jingci."
"He picked up a knife in front of the idol and had a very strong suicidal tendency, but he was an important character in the small world and could not die casually."
"Therefore, the small world automatically activated its protection function, and then time stopped flowing."
"Don't worry, your father and the others will no longer search for you sadly. Time has stopped in the entire small world. You can think of it as everyone being frozen in place, not moving at all."
Xu Wuning's hands trembled, and she murmured, "Suicide?"
"Then why am I in high school? How did I end up back in the past?"
Xiao Ke shook his head. "We don't know either. How did you end up at a point in time before? This is the first time we've encountered this situation."
"The Blue System has never encountered anything like this before. This little world is very strange; it was marked as high-risk from the very beginning."
"The Blue System tried to bring you back, but after operating for a long time, the task panel remained unmoved. He's now completely frustrated."
"Now we can only wait for my dad to come back. He's the main system, he's omnipotent. Let him get you out of here and send you back to the right point in time so you can reunite with your dad. Then you can imprison and force yourself on Lu Jingci."
"Host, please wait there for a while. We'll rescue you as soon as my father returns..."
Xu Wuning: "Then I might as well have just waited for your dad at the system site from the beginning. Now I have to go through high school all over again?"
"What exactly happened to your father...?"
Before he could finish speaking, the crackling sound of electricity rang out again.
Xiao Ke's anxious voice came through intermittently: "Host... the signal in this small world is too unstable right now, it seems we're about to lose contact..."
"Don't be afraid. Once my dad gets back and finds out what happened, I'll get you out of there as soon as possible. Just stay there and eat and drink well."
"Host, take care of yourself..."
Amidst a very loud, intermittent electrical sound, Xiao Ke's voice disappeared, and all contact was lost.
Xu Wuning pressed her temples, feeling a slight headache.
What's going on here?
She stood up and tried to recall what day it was.
She glanced at the decorations on the campus in the distance, the colorful balloons and graduation banners, and her eyes widened.
This is the day before graduation!
At that moment, she stood at the corner of the lake, about to run back to the classroom.
That means she had just humiliated and rejected Lu Jingci's confession.
They called his affection lowly, told him to get lost, and even threw the blue diamond he handed them onto the ground.
Not far away, behind that big tree, Lu Jingci, that sickly little devil, was pitifully squatting there crying...
